Hi Folks!
This is just to let you know that I've finally changed over to
my new email account at the University of Wisconsin. The
new address, together with my snailmail address and phone
numbers, appear in the sig at the end of this message.
For those of you who don't know, I recently relocated to
Madison for the 1999-2000 school year to teach a few
courses while I finish my dissertation. This fall I'm teaching
an Intro to Linguistics course with about 200 students
(thank god I have TAs to help me), and a Historical Linguistics
class with about 12 students. The former is an undergrad
class, while the latter is mixed grads and undergrads. Things
are going well, and I'm enjoying some of the small perks of
being 'faculty' (however temporarily) - like my own office,
my own computer, my own office phone line, and a nice
view out my window of downtown Madison and the capitol
dome (the Linguistics Department is on the 11th floor
of the second tallest building in the city).
Although I will often be too busy to participate actively
in the list this year, I do plan to at least lurk 'n' listen, so
feel free to call upon me if necessary.
Cheers,
Matt.
P.S.: Welcome back, Sally! I was beginning to wonder
if you'd abandoned us forever.
